High Risk

Midici has a thin inspection record, with only two visits on file so far. The most recent report on file is from Apr 20, 2026. A high risk rating points to multiple serious findings at the most recent inspection.

Recent visits have flagged more than earlier ones: around eight violations per visit lately, up from roughly five violations before.

When inspectors have written things up, “toxic substances properly identified, stored, & used” has been the most frequent reason, cited two times.

That's lower than the typical East Providence restaurant, which scores around 79. Taken together, the history suggests a facility that has struggled with consistency.
